This week we have part 2 of our interview with John Saddington that literally sent warning bells blaring through the 8Bit office. We also hear about his new Kickstarter campaign: Pressgram (an iOS app that allows you to take filtered photos, and publish them to your WordPress blog).

Highlights

“Without deadlines you just never know if there’s progress, or to measure momentum.”

“Without personal deadlines you can be slaving away on something and never launch.”

“When you have partners you will have more fun, you will make more money, and you will have more margin than without.”

“Unless you’re a magical unicorn that can do all things, you’re probably going to be a specialist (a designer, business person, developer). Startups need specialists that are kicking butt at being excellent in particular areas, than a bunch of generalists doing everything mediocre.”

“Investors want to invest in people that are at the top of their game.”

“You haven’t launched because there’s something in this product that you can overcome without help.”

“Finding good people is about experimenting.”
